Applied Early Years Studies BA (Hons)

If you currently work in the early years sector and have a relevant Foundation degree or equivalent in this field, this top-up course will bring you up to a full Honours degree in just one year. It also allows you to put your learning into practice immediately, in your workplace. The course builds on the knowledge and skills you have already have while developing your understanding of child development and early years education from a variety of professional perspectives.

What will you study?
Studying our Applied Early Years Studies (Top up) BA (Hons) course will equip you with the in-depth knowledge around early-years education and child development. The course aims to provide you with in-depth knowledge around learning and development, such as in our Early Learning from Birth to Five unit. Here, you will explore early-years educational theory and practice. You will consider the needs of younger children, particularly under three, as well as the role adults play in supporting the learning development of children under the age of five.  

As an early-years educator, it is also important that you show good leadership and management skills. This is where our Leading Practice in the Early Years unit comes in to introduce you to various aspects of team leadership including the challenges of working with diverse groups of people.
